Based on the Spec Eng Report and the Builders Quote, the property exhibits significant historic and potentially progressive structural movement, primarily affecting the central partition walls around the staircase area. The structural engineer classifies the damage as Category 2-4 (aesthetic to serviceability damage) and advises that underpinning of the affected partition walls may ultimately be required to ensure long-term stability. A quotation from Building & Structural Solutions Ltd totals £8,706 including VAT, covering the majority of the engineer's recommended remedial works, including chimney alterations, wall reconstruction, structural strapping, RSJ installation, bow ties, loft supports and associated plastering. The quotation does not include any underpinning works, drainage investigations, trial pits or borehole investigation.
Key Structural Issues Identified
• Significant distortion and uneven floors throughout the property. • Subsidence affecting the central staircase partition walls. • Inadequately supported front chimney breast requiring RSJ support. • Rear chimney stack partially removed and requiring complete removal. • Cracking to internal walls and distortion to door frames. • Poorly supported loft purlin requiring additional supports. • Front wall requiring bow ties to improve restraint. • Recommendation for a CCTV drainage survey to investigate any contributing drainage defects. The sellers carried out the initial structural report to establish the extent of the repair and movement due to internal cracking. They are not looking to carry out further test and investigations as a potential buyer will wish to obtain their own checks. Therefore the property is being sold as cash buyers only and the Structural Engineers report and builders report would be available to any potential buyers upon request.
